New Technique for Magnetic Compression Anastomosis Without Incision for Gastrointestinal Obstruction

BackgroundMagnetic compression anastomosis (MCA) is a novel technique of similar to that with surgery, but in minimally invasive manner. Few reports are available on the utility and feasibility MCA for gastrointestinal without requiring general anesthesia humans, owing difficulty delivering magnets. We evaluated safety, efficacy, obstruction anesthesia.Study DesignIn this retrospective single-center study, patients who underwent from January 2013 October 2019 were included. Adult or stenosis, irrespective underlying disease, severe comorbidities, complicated abdominal surgical history, postoperative complications, unable tolerate eligible inclusion. Two magnets delivered by combination endoscopic fluoroscopic procedures placed lumen organ be anastomosed. The main outcome was technical success MCA.ResultsFourteen MCA, achieved 100% cases. mean procedural time, duration formation, hospital stay 44 minutes, 13 days, 36 respectively. anastomotic restenosis, 1 patient had an perforation due balloon dilatation prevent restenosis. follow-up period 34 months.ConclusionsMCA safe, useful, feasible. can valuable alternative surgery obstruction. Magnetic anesthesia. In MCA. Fourteen months.
